I was not able to install F18 via LiveCD/Anaconda as it appears to insist on (unformatted) free space.
I was able to install F17 with anaconda, which allowed me to specify the /boot and / software destination having two partitions wiped out by newly reformatting them while installing.
In F18, one has a choice to choose LVM, BRFS(?), or Partition schemes, so I choose the Partition scheme, checked that I wanted no help, to manually modify and/or define the software destination and hovering the cursor over 2nd button, the highlight says: "Please wait... software metadata is being loaded" and nothing happens for over 30 minutes of waiting.
I do not want to use the 'reclaim' button because this might mess up the partition table and screw the entire disk.
I also noted that while waiting, I was able to set the locale, but not allowed to change the date, time nor 12/24 hour selections, they are greyed out, even though I was able to do this on the time/date menubar but this has nothing to do with anaconda.
So, what can I do at this point?

Blivet[1] ain't Disk Druid. ;)

Blivet[1] is still in diapers[2]. Therefore, you can attempt to install with the recent version. http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC5/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedo... http://goo.gl/MN3xc ;)

Especially when you look at the picture and realize that they got the name wrong: that's a Three prong, two hole Poiuyt.
Don't even try to count how many holes does Swiss cheese have. :) The next version of Fedora will be called 42.

Yup! Rule 42: "All persons more than a mile high are to leave the courtroom immediately." It's the oldest rule in the book.
BTW, the name I gave for that comes from MAD Magazine, back in the '60s.

Unfortunately no one knows what the question is. :)

Those are not holes, but engineered air compartments designed to enhance the cheese flavor. You probably refers to the French Emmental which is indeed full of holes ;)
